If all womens games ended up with 6 or 7 goals per game I could understand the call for smaller goals. But the womens games that I have seen have normal looking scorelines. Of course there are the odd games where the scores are high but that's usually because one team is much superior than the other and goal sizes wouldn't have made much difference at all.

The games today for example ended 2-1, 3-0 and 2-1. Not sure how smaller goals would have made any positive difference to those matches.

My daughter's Under 13 girls team have played games on full size pitches with full size goals a few times this season because that's what was available. Good luck getting many clubs to provide smaller goals for adult women.

I watched the Canada v Cameroon game. Canada were clearly the better side, but struggled to make decent chances.

its got really interesting now with the lightning. Too bad the players got called in. I'm fairly sure you run faster when you feel that static buildup. :D

Torrential rain and thunder and lightning have caused a delay in the Sweden Chile game. I feel sorry for the commentator who's there on her own and has to just keep talking because there's no replays or highlights to play.

If it restarts it gives Chile a much needed rest, and reduces it to a 20 minute match.
If its called off chile will be all smiles for a first draw.

Match due to resume at 7:12 pm
From the height of the swedes , it looks like women v girls. Alot of these teams need a clinical striker.

i expect it to be hammer and tongs for 20 mins since they've had a rest. Should be an interesting finish to the game.

There's only three minutes gone between USA and Thailand, but it already looks like this is going to be a really tough game for the Thai's.

USA Just had one ruled out by VAR.
